Well Wednesday wasn't the nicest day as the rain and overcast skies were evident to the area both in the early morning and later in the evening with more consistent rain. Thankfully, no extreme gully washers so the driveway stayed passable, especially since neighbor Gerald is gone on vacation and the use of his tractor for scraping is unavailable. We received over 2 1/2 inches during a 24 hour period which had the area with flash flood warnings and then last evening the temps dropped precipitously during the early evening hours. It is supposed to be in the 40's this morning, oh well. Fall is upon and we are starting to already see some leaf colors along the parkway.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish rollout to my usual morning routines which are a cup of hot green tea while I post this ramble and then some quiet time with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting several up by name for comfort and healing. We met up with the Luffman's for supper at the Pizzeria last evening and she is definitely an answer to prayer as she recovers wonderfully from her horse accident. even her doctors were amazed for her recovery at her age from these serious almost fatal injuries. You would never know it by how she walks and her face has nearly healed from all of the broken bones around her eyes. She looks amazing and she say's the power of prayer was the reason she is and has done so well. Everyone else is doing O.K. as we have heard nothing to the contrary.
I did get in my solo early morning hike before Nancy arose from the bed and it was so good to get the cardio on the way up the steep back trail. The wind was gently blowing the rain from the trees through out the hike and held off until later in the morning when we got several showers. I did piddle around in the basement and cleaned off my work bench sorting nails, screws and bolts and pitching lots of unused items. I did attempt to fix the puncture in the front tire of the golf cart and so far its held. If it holds through this fall until next summer I'll have two new tires on the front to replace as these are getting worn down from their knobby start. The golf cart is my mini truck and I use it daily as well as entertaining the grands with rides when they come and visit.
I got in some afternoon reading during one of the many rain showers before we headed out to Sparta to meet for supper at 5 in another heavy down pour. It was our 42nd wedding anniversary supper with good friends and a delicious pepperoni and mushroom pie. We gassed up in Sparta which is very unusual with gas 10 cents cheaper than Galax, whats with that; as Virginia must have raised their gas tax. It's usually the other way around. We came on back to the cabin a different route and settled into the Ray's game where they were beating the Jay's 7-1 and clinched another playoff spots for this season. They have the best record in all of baseball thus far and we are hoping for a World Series victory, LATER
